    I read the article. While on the site, I scanned a few others as well. All I can say is, wow! A dozen Republicans immediately rise to torpedo his chance, but they have no one else to offer after Jordan crashed and burned in a humiliating defeat dealt to him by Republicans. There are growing...

    Donald Trump drove, frightened or grossed most people out who did not agree with him. Donald Trump happened to the big tent. Few non-Trumpers remain and those who do are silent or stripped of influence.

    verbal harassment and death threats are both verbal. The difference is a difference in degree. One is a serious crime. The other may or may not be a crime depending on the circumstances. And if it is a crime, it is less serious with lesser penalties.

    What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

    Do you have any names to suggest? If no one in the Republican caucus can get elected as speaker by the disunited Republicans, is it any different for anyone outside of the House? Ryan is a former Republican speaker. He has no chance. Gingrich? Same story. One Republican representative said Jesus...

    That's about what the Democrats say MAGA is. My question was asked of you, Pilgrim. In your opinion, who is MAGA? I'm asking out of curiosity and to further refine my own use of the word. Your input would be helpful. I want to come up with a definition of the term that MAGA people would accept.

    The Liz Cheney for Speaker idea is showing more life now that the Republican caucus seems even more unable to govern. She was number 3 in House Republican leadership at one time. Twitter chatter now says some Democrats are seriously floating her name as a possible consensus candidate. It's...

    What Maxine Waters encouraged is wrong. I value civility and decorum and respect in our ongoing public debate. Water's comments undermine that. That said. the death threats Republicans are now receiving from other Republicans are far more serious. They are serious crimes with serious penalties...

    What's True for One is True for All In the news this morning, about 10 Republican names are being mentioned as declared or potential candidates for the US House speaker election. One of them is Tom Emmer (R-MN). Trump is making it known that he does not want Emmer to be speaker. That's probably...

    It is an interesting question you ask ... "Who is MAGA?" I'd ask the same question of Trump Attorney Borris Epshteyn if I could. Speaking in opposition to potential speaker candidate Tom Emmer (R-MN), Epshteyn recently said this: “If somebody is so out of step with where the Republican...

    The Majority of House Republicans are Cowards Trump-endorsed Jordan needed all but 3-5 Republican votes to win the speaker's seat. In three successive votes, he fell short by 20, 22, and 25 votes. But today, when Republicans met behind closed doors to vote off the public record, over half of...

    No Closer Sixteen days have elapsed since House Republicans removed the Speaker they previously elected; and did so with no replacement in mind. With the nomination just stripped from Jordan, we're no closer to filling the Speaker's seat than we were 16 days ago. House Republicans can't govern.

    While some may do so, I do not use MAGA as a perjorative or slur. When I use the term, I am referring to anyone who self-identifies as a MAGA member or supporter or sympathizer. They are easily identified because many of them wear red hats or T-shirts that say MAGA on them or Make America Great...
